1.11. P-Tile IP for PCI Express IP Cores v7.0.0

IP versions are the same as the Quartus® Prime Design Suite software versions up to v19.1. From Quartus® Prime Design Suite software version 19.2 or later, IPs have a new IP versioning scheme.

The IP version (X.Y.Z) number may change from one Quartus® Prime software version to another. A change in:
  • X indicates a major revision of the IP. If you update your Quartus® Prime software, you must regenerate the IP.
  • Y indicates the IP includes new features. Regenerate your IP to include these new features.
  • Z indicates the IP includes minor changes. Regenerate your IP to include these changes.

Quartus® Prime Version Description Impact
21.4 Added P-Tile Performance design example (SCT Support). This design example can be used to demonstrate P-tile functionality with multiple TLPs per segment. For additional details, refer to the P-Tile Intel FPGA IP for PCIe Design Example User Guide.

Added a parameter to the IP Parameter Editor to strip the ECRC field from a TLP payload.

You can choose to remove the ECRC field from the TLP payload when the P-Tile FPGA IP for PCIe is configured in TLP Bypass mode.

The Debug Toolkit parameter option has been relocated to the Top-Level Settings tab of the IP Parameter Editor.

This move provides easier access to the IP Parameter Editor option to enable or disable the Debug Toolkit feature.

The link_up_o, dll_up_o, ltssm_state_o, and surprise_down_err_o signals are all part of the Hard IP Status Interface in the 21.4 release of Quartus® Prime.

These signals are available by default without any dependency on any IP Parameter Editor parameter.
